💙✨ Another week well underway here at Strabane Primary, and a Wednesday Wow mention for our Year 3/4 students who had the most incredible experience visiting the bakery in Lidl! A walk to the store, followed by an in depth view of the wonderful bakery and delicious products made there 🍞🥖🍪Our students were all kindly gifted a Lidl goodie bag and the staff had a few sweet treats sent to school for them too! 🍩🤤

🫶🏻 Thank you to Lidl Strabane and staff for giving our young students a WOW! experience 🥰

💙✨World Teachers’ Day ✨💙

We are incredibly blessed with the most amazing team of teachers here at Strabane Primary School - a team who will usually agree to anything…! 🫡💁‍♀️

“Can you dress up as a Christmas cracker tomorrow?”
Absolutely.

“Can you hold this child’s tooth while they finish their lunch?”
Apparently so.

“There’s a mysterious smell in the corridor…”
On it.

“Can you look after this snail I found?”
Of course.

“Someone’s stuck their arm inside a chair.”
Be right there.

“We need someone to wear an inflatable costume for assembly.”
No problem!

“And can you recreate this ridiculous TikTok trend for the school page?”
(After a few ‘no chance’ replies, it’s usually…”Right, what have I to do?” 😂

There really is no job description that covers being a primary teacher.

✅Teacher. Nurse. Detective. Referee. Tooth keeper. Costume wearer. Cheerleader. Snail babysitter. Social-media performer…

And somehow, when another completely ridiculous request comes along, the answer is usually…

“Go on then.” 😂💙

Here’s to the teachers who will give pretty much anything a go for the children — including sacrificing every last shred of dignity for a 30-second school video. 🎥🤣

Primary teachers don’t just teach children to read, write and count. They help shape the person that child will become. And perhaps the most beautiful part is that they may never truly know just how much of a difference they made.

💙To our incredible teachers here at Strabane Primary— for every child you encourage, comfort, inspire and believe in…

Thank you. What you do lasts a lifetime. ❤️

💙✨ A Wednesday Wow mention for our Year 5 student, who was showing such kindness towards his fellow classmates at various times over the last few weeks! His teacher said he was helpful and caring towards others. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference, and we are so proud to see him being a thoughtful and supportive friend to others. Keep shining! ✨💙

💙✨ Today marks National Classroom Assistant Day 2026! And so, a Little Tribute to Our Classroom Assistants here at Strabane Primary!

There are some people in school who know absolutely everything.

We don’t mean maths everything. Or science everything.

We mean ✨ Important ✨ everything. Like…

✅Where the spare glue sticks are.

✅Whose unnamed jumper has been sitting on the floor for three weeks.

✅How to unjam the photocopier when everyone else has already switched it off, switched it on, opened every little door on it and whispered things to it that probably shouldn’t be repeated in a primary school…!

💁‍♀️They can spot a child about to spill their water bottle from the other side of the room.

👉They can open a yoghurt, find a missing pencil, listen to a very long story about someone’s hamster AND keep an eye on the child who has gone suspiciously quiet…all at the same time.

They hear their name approximately seven thousand times a day.

“Can you help me?”
“Can you help me?”
“Can you help me?”
“I don’t need help.”
Two seconds later…
“Can you help me?”

😵‍💫They know that when a child says, “I feel a bit funny…” something unpleasant may be about to happen…

✨They know that glitter is not an art material.
It is a permanent lifestyle choice. 🫣

✂️They know that a five-minute activity can somehow require three hours of preparation,
fourteen glue sticks, six pairs of scissors and a small emotional breakdown.

💅And they know that when the teacher says, “Has anyone seen my—?” the answer is usually: “Yes. I’ll get it!”

👑 Our classroom assistants are the Queens of the Wall Displays! They’re problem-solvers, peacekeepers, coat-zippers, tear-dryers, pencil-finders, confidence-builders and occasional miracle workers.

💙They make our children feel safe. They make our teachers feel sane. Well…saner. 😉

And somehow, amongst all the noise, the mess,
the missing jumpers, the broken pencils and the cries of “THAT’S NOT FAIR!” they keep smiling.

So to our wonderful classroom assistants:

Thank you for the big things.
Thank you for the little things.

And thank you especially for being with us at Strabane Primary School. ✨💙

💙✨ We have two special events happening today in our school!

🍎📚 We look forward to welcoming you to our first ‘Meet the Teacher’ this afternoon (Thursday 24th September)

This informal event provides an opportunity for you to meet your child’s teacher, visit their classroom, and learn more about daily routines, expectations, and the exciting learning opportunities.

There will be two identical presentation sessions available:

• Session 1: 3.05pm
• Session 2: 3.30pm

Please note that this event is intended for parents and guardians only.

🗳️ We then welcome as many as possible to our PTFA AGM which will take place this evening in the school assembly hall, at 6.30pm! A great way to connect with our PTFA and all the amazing plans they have for the year ahead.

💙✨ A busy week here at Strabane Primary! Many of you will know that it’s election week in our school, with pupils voting in their classes for our School Council and Eco Committee. ♻️🗳️

Out on the road today were our amazing Digital Leaders, who have now graduated to become School Leaders under the remit of Digital Citizens, supporting and representing our school community. Our Wednesday Wow is a nod to their efforts! 💻🌟

Today, we attended the second year of the North West Digital Hub, supported by Allstate, where we officially embarked on this year’s exciting new competition.

🤩We’re so excited for the year ahead and all the opportunities it will bring!

A huge well done to all our Digital Leadership Ambassadors for their commitment, enthusiasm and leadership. We can’t wait to see what you achieve! 👏💻🌱
